It's been a long time coming. Finally bought a Vantage
 
My dream car has always been an Aston Martin. My father brought me up on James Bond movies and named me "Sean" accordingly. When I was a kid he would buy me Hemmings motor news and we would highlight DB4s and 5s for sale.
My senior design project at Pasadena Art Center was for Aston Martin in 2003. I proposed that the key to an Aston be a bespoke timepiece. Henrik Fisker came to the senior show and really liked my design but said AM would never do it, lol.
Last week I finally bought a 2007 Vantage. Someone has put on what I believe to be S sideskirts, wheels, aftermarket grill, taillights, carbon bits and came with a built in K40.
It has 78,000 miles but runs fantastic. Unfortunately has the front cover oil leak. I still can't believe I finally own one. I go out into the garage a few times a day just to look at it. Somewhat of a strange color combo, Pearl white and a blueish gray interior. Such a fun car.

Congratulations. Great looking car.

You can create a free account at >technicalhub.astonmartin.com< and look up your VIN to get all the build specs to find the name of your interior color, paint code, and all the rest.

Enjoy!

I think "paint to sample" generally means the color was mixed for that car only, from a sample provided when the car was ordered.

Morning Frost White was an off-the-shelf color that could be ordered. I've never seen Morning Fog mentioned anywhere.

It's possible you have the only Vantage in he world in that interior/exterior combination. Contact Tim Cottingham at AMHT if you want to find out.

My bad, It is actually Frost not Fog. Thank you for the information

Congrats, it looks awesome!

It is a very nice combination…enjoy…think that counts a colour…lol

Congrats and welcome to the club! The sills look like those from the 2008 N400, which were then used on the "facelift" V8V (non-S) from MY2012.25. These are special cars. I've had my V8V 15 years and it's still an event every time.
